The 4th ai-PULSE conference at Station F in Paris, 13 October. One-day gathering organised by cloud provider Scaleway for AI engineers, developers and researchers: AI breakthroughs, cutting-edge research outcomes, AI infrastructure and live product demonstrations. France's home-grown AI conference, rooted in the Paris cloud and developer ecosystem.
ai-PULSE is an annual AI developer and engineering conference organised by Scaleway, the French cloud provider, at Station F in Paris. The 4th edition takes place 13 October 2026. The conference brings together AI engineers, developers and researchers for a single intensive day of AI breakthroughs, research presentations, AI infrastructure updates and live product demonstrations. Scaleway's role as organiser means the event has a natural grounding in cloud infrastructure, GPU compute and AI platform development, alongside broader AI research and applied AI content.
Programme themes:
The conference draws AI engineers, developers, researchers, AI product managers and cloud architects, with a core base from the French AI and startup community concentrated at and around Station F. Scaleway's European cloud network means the event also attracts European developers interested in GPU infrastructure and AI platform development. The French AI ecosystem, including La French Tech and associated startup communities, provides a significant part of the audience.
ai-PULSE occupies a specific position in the Paris AI calendar: it is developer-first and infrastructure-grounded, distinct from strategy-focused AI events (Vivatech, AI for Good) and from pure research conferences (ICLR, NeurIPS). The Scaleway-organised format keeps the event close to practitioners building and running AI systems, with particular strength in the European cloud and open source AI infrastructure community.
No. While Scaleway organises and sponsors the event, ai-PULSE features external speakers, researchers and community content beyond Scaleway's own products. The event is positioned as an open AI engineering conference for the Paris and broader European community.
The event is international. English and French are both used; major research and technical sessions are typically in English. The location at Station F and the Scaleway ecosystem give it strong roots in the French startup and tech community.
Station F is the world's largest startup campus, located at 5 Parvis Alan Turing, 75013 Paris, in a renovated 19th-century freight railway station (Halle Freyssinet). It is home to over 1,000 startups and regularly hosts major technology events. Station F is accessible by metro (line 6, Chevaleret station), RER C (Bibliothèque François Mitterrand) or bus. Paris is served by Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Orly Airport (ORY).
Scaleway is a French cloud provider and subsidiary of Iliad Group, offering IaaS, GPU cloud computing and managed AI services. Scaleway organises ai-PULSE as part of its developer relations programme, building the French and European AI engineering community. The company's focus on GPU infrastructure and sustainable AI computing shapes the event's infrastructure and AI sustainability themes.
ai-PULSE is Scaleway's annual developer AI conference at Station F Paris: one dense day of AI infrastructure, research and product demonstrations from the French cloud ecosystem.
